If 'overrated' was a person, it would be Cara.

I'm possibly one of the only people you'll ever meet who understood people's obsession with Cara Delevingne- and who knew her before you found her "pretty" on your tumblr dashboard. I'm not a hater, and I dont really flinch at the sight of her - it's just that I don't buy her as a "supermodel" and never will. In fact, anyone who questions themselves frequently as to why they like what they like, wouldn't buy Cara as a "supermodel".

First Off, lets get facts in place. Cara never really had to work too hard to be a model because she already had plenty of top-notch contacts. Enter, Poppy Delevingne - yes, Cara has an elder sister you've almost never heard of. Poppy was scouted by Storm Model Management founder Sarah Doukas in 2008. Well, after that she ended up being the face of brands like Louis Vuitton and worked with people *cough*(idiots) like Terry Richardson and is presently an ambassador for the British Fashion Council. Well - Cara came skipping around and got scouted by *pause of predictability* Sarah Doukas of Storm Model Management.

I kinda forgot to let everyone know that her Godfather's a Conde Nast Executive , and her Godmother's the actress Joan Collins. *cough*remember her minor role in Anna Karenina*cough*

See where I'm getting at?

Let's analyse her as a model - her prime shining career at the moment. Her expressions are the same everywhere to be honest - eyes staring into a camera and her lips parting or together with her cheekbones jutting - she'll eventually look another direction and do the same maybe, but that's her serious modelling,

It's literally the same expression.

Cara's success isn't just about her family, it's her own doings too : she got tumblr-famous in a jiffy with the flood of her whacky faces in backstage pictures. People thought she was a high fashion model with "a personality" - I mean tumblr's the kind of place where a picture of a person holding a shoe in front of their webcam will get 3,000 notes - it's an open community where people influence each other real quick. You'll see a black and white paparazzi picture of Kim Kardashian and people commenting "she's perf" "wow that body" and people get swayed. But then again, tumblr is a community that constantly inspires people and shares perspectives - but it influences strongly. I've witnessed that for myself. Cara literally flooded tumblr before she flooded the fashion industry - Everyone's dashboard had a pictures of her twisted eyeballs and stretchy tongue. everyone.

Her fame grew with the people before if grew with the industry - which isn't a bad thing, it's just interesting to note how labels and designers can get hungry for a slice of that fame. Plus, she's dead skinny so, criteria fulfilled. Actually it was most shocking when a brand like Victoria's Secret - which is known for it's fit and curvaceous supermodels had Cara walk for them in 2012 and 2013 shows . After stuffing her bra - she still looked out-of-place in that show. She's high-fashion material, and  people realized that eventually.

Another fascinating aspect of her fame is the flamboyant people she's come to be associated with - Rihanna,Michelle Rodriguez ,Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora, Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner. You have got to admit, it's hard to not get plenty of attention when you're constantly seen with that crowd.

Her social media following is also tremendous - and models.com ranks her 4th in their 'social' section. 

Think about it, she's skinny,blonde, has blue eyes - possesses perhaps the most cliche face. Her acquisition of fame is plain unique, and the industry's played along perfectly. If she ever walked passed me as an ordinary person, I wouldn't turn to glance - nobody would.

I feel like the 'supermodel' status rests with models that are unique with their features and versatile in every photograph - Cara really is literally none of the above.
